the most hit or miss fine dining experience I think I've ever had. also, the combination of the music and the sound-reflective ceiling makes it impossible to hear anyone who isn't two feet from your ear.
Been to Nobu elsewhere, first time in Honolulu. Always had a 5 star experience until now. I took my date and we chose the exclusive chef special. Lobster was one of the courses and it was inedible. Like chewing rubber. The other 8 dishes were mediocre at best. Some completely flavorless. Overall, the experience was not worth the near $600. I will absolutely go back to Nobu in other cities, but never again in Honolulu. The chef did send a complimentary dish to make up for the lobster, which actually was the best one of all. So I certainly appreciate that. If this was a $150 dinner, it may have earned them an extra star, but in this case, 2 is a fair evaluation for my experience. I will give them a 5 star rating on presentation, but that unfortunately did not follow up with pleasant tastings. The wait staff were very attentive and kind.
The sushi at our work cafeteria is prepared with more care, and the service was appalling. After not having seen our server for 30 minutes, the bus boy had to go and find him and reorder our food, after which we were double charged.
The presentation was great and the wait staff were attentive and friendly. Although the presentation was excellent, the quality of the food was not what I've expected from an upscale establishment with an upscale price.
At best average. Honestly the worst Nobu I’ve been to, including the landlocked Budapest. There are many better restaurants than this in Honolulu. Chef Nobu needs to focus on the consistency of his brand.
Went during restaurant week to try something new and we really enjoyed ourselves. The service was great, the cocktails were unique and enjoyable, and the sake was so smooth. We liked the menu options that offered the option to try as many specialty dishes as possible. The Garlic shrimp was flavorful, the Tuna was fresh!, the Wagyu beef in any form (tacos/dish) was delicious and tender, as well as the sirloin with it's many sauce options. We were a lil rocked by the prices but felt the experience was well worth it!
My advice is to look elsewhere.
